Wireless network

[AussieWilly]

Hi guys and gals, the quetion is,

I have my normal lan setup through 5 port hub and all is well.
I bought a USB wireless thingy to hook up lap dog. Is it possible to have internet sharing between wirless and lan? I cant seem to get it to work.

I think I may have to go all wirless or put up with cable to lapdog, which defeats the purpose.

Thanks in advance.
Love Willy.

A combination is no problem at all, you just need to be a little more specific than "USB wireless thingy" what make and model is it.

I don't quiet understand why you needed a usb thingy at all, you just needed to Ethernet connect a wireless access point to your hub and away you would go.

EDIT: I am assuming you have set up a gateway....

ahahahahaha, I had the same problem, it took me fecking ages to find out why it didn't work. What you need to do is use the 'setup a home or small office network' wizard, using the right crap. However wireless network cards don't perform very well in a bridge, so you need to set it to compatability mode manually. That will fix it, but it'll still be a bit tempremental.

its a Diamond Digital A101

Ok a quick google of "Diamond Digital A101 setup help"

Gave me the users manual for that particular unit. I assume you would have received it when you got the router. Looking through the manual it appears pretty straight forward to follow and setup (even for a chicken farmer) :p

Anyways try following the manual and if you get stuck post what point you are upto and we will try sort it from there.

Far to difficult for willy to understand what you said Karrde

[[WTF]Hal]

Do you have a wireless connection on your network? or just an ethernet hub?
